The rain had stop and Serena sat in the middle of the street, just staring at the entrance of the park. The tears were gone, but Serena's pain of lost was not.
Serena felt something warm brushed against her leg.
"Serena?" Luna meow out in a concerned voiced.
Serena looked down to see her feline friend. She quickly picked up the cat which startled Luna and she gave her a hug and kiss on the nose.
"Serena what are you doing?" Luna said.
Serena tried to create a smile, but nothing happened. "What in god's name has happened?" Luna demanded. Serena did not respond or look at Luna. Oh dear something awful has happened to her. Oh gosh why is she just staring, Luna began to fear for Serena's state of mind.
"Stand up! "Nothing. "Serena I'm ordering you to stand up!"
Serena heard some distance command and looked down to see the angry eyes of Luna.
"Luna, I don't have to take commands from you, remember you are an advisor, not the queen, king, and especially not the princess of the moon." She barked to Luna.
Well at least Serena was on her feet yelling at her. Luna let out relieved sigh. This was better than nothing, even though the words hurt. Serena for the second attempt began her journey home. Luna could hear Serena grumbling and see her shaking from being cold. Something is not right. She tried to remember a time when she saw and heard Serena act this way, but nothing was crossing her mind. Strange.
Serena clumsily climbed up the tree next to her bedroom window. "Ouch" yelped out as she scratched her arm on a branch. "Stupid branch! Who put you there!" Serena angry said at the branch. Finally safely in her room, she took off the clinging wet garments of clothes and slipped into a bathrobe. Luna didn't say anything else, which was usual for her. Serena got into bed to exhausted to think of the situation and the emotions that her stabbing her in the heart. Sleep overcame her within a few minutes, a dreamless sleep.
Serena walked mindless down to the kitchen only thoughts on her mind for the time being was food.
"Honey?" Serena's mom exclaimed in surprise.
Serena yawned as she stretched her arms above her head. Something's never change around here; who could resist food of all things, even if she was feeling like shit?
"I thought you stayed over at Raye's house."
"Huh? Oh right, yea I came home for my stuffed bunny and didn't want to go back over their." Serena laughed a little nervous.
"Are you feeling alright?" her mother eyed her with concern
"Yea of course!"
Serena woofed down three waffles, some bacon, two eggs, and to top it all off with two full glasses of orange juice. She belched loudly.
"Excuse me" she said as she put her plate in the sink.
Her father peered over his newspaper. Sammy started to call her names and make fun of her, but she was in no mood to retort with him.
Back in her room, Serena walked over to desk and gazed upon the locket, the communicator, and the crystal. She picked up the locket and examined it, she had the sudden urge to throw against the wall, but Luna would grow more suspicious than she needed to be. She crawled into bed and curled up in a little ball beneath the covers. Humm everybody's going to find out about Darien and I sooner or later, Serena thought sleepily to herself, it is just of matter of time. She also wondered why Luna had not pounded her with questions and lectures of being irresponsible leader or what the hell she was doing out there in the middle to the night.
"Do you believe in angels?" Serena asked Luna.
"Well anything is possible, I guess so."
"I saw two angels"
Luna waited patiently for her to continue.
"The first one had black wings, who ever heard of black wings? He cried tears of blood and I could feel his pain, so much agony, yet so beautiful to see such a creature." She paused and was silent for a moment. The longing came back; oh gosh she wanted the other angel to be with her right now.
"The other angel was breathtaking; I felt awe in his presence. His wings were pure white. Both angels looked to be normal humans, but had wings and glowed. Humans." She murmured.
Luna didn't know what to think. Serena stopped talking. She turned her back towards the cat.
"Serena" Luna said tentatively.
"Leave me alone. It was a long night Luna. I wish to sleep."
